Fr. Scott Daniels, O.P. in Collierville, TN - September 26-27, 2009

Travelling to Collierville, TN, Fr. Scott Daniels spent a Pro-Life Parish Weekend at the Church of the Incarnation, where he presided and/or preached at four Masses. After the Saturday Mass, he was warmly greeted by many parishioners who were grateful for hearing Fr. Daniels’ message on the Culture of Life and who expressed a strong desire to receive more pro-life preaching from the pulpit.

Saturday evening, spent a warm evening of dinner and fellowship at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Derek Rotty. Both Derek and Khira Rotty, along with Fr. Kevin Stockbridge, attend the annual March for Life in Washington, DC. It was also a bit of “old home week” for Fr. Daniels, who used to teach at St. Benedict at Auburndale High School in Cordova, TN, with Mrs. Rotty.

On Sunday, Fr. Daniels preached that our tolerance of abortion is akin to the scandal of which Jesus speaks in St. Mark’s Gospel for Sunday of the 26th Sunday of Ordinary Time. After the Masses, he enjoyed meeting members of the parish Respect Life Committee at the home of the RLC Coordinator, Mrs. Susan Beard.
